REMARKS. 


IN  coming  before  the  public  with  our  Illustrated 
Catalogue,  we  will  endeavor  to  show  the  various 
uses  of  Sheet  Iron  in  the  construction  of  all  kinds  of 
buildings. 

In  the  year  1870,  Sheet  iron  was  very  little  used  for 
Roofing  or  other  building  purposes.  We  being  the 
Pioneers  in  this  Business,  had  good  opportunity  of 
seeing  the  rapid  increase  in  demand ; in  1887,  there 
were  over  50,000  tons  of  Sheet  Iron  used  for  building 
purposes  in  the  United  States,  showing  that  at  pres- 
ent it  stands  ahead  of  any  other  article,  and  its 
cheapness,  durability  and  adaptability  make  it  the 
most  desirable  article  now  in  use  for  Roofing.  By  our 
improved  machinery,  large  capacity  and  superior 
advantages  for  shipping,  we  can  fill  all  orders  promptly 
and  in  the  very  best  condition.

Awnings,  etc.,  which  are  light,  substantial  and  dura- 
ble, at  reasonable  prices.  Send  us  plans  and  specifi- 
cations of  structure,  and  we  will  make  estimate  on  the 
same.  The  roof  can  be  covered  with  our  Garry  Cap 
Roofing  or  Corrugated  Iron,  whichever  parties  prefer. 
The  gauges  of  sheeting  iron  used  for  this  purpose  are 
Nos.  24,  22,  20  and  18,  either  painted  or  galvanized. 


DIRECTIONS  FOR  LAYING 


GARRY'S  PATENT  CAP  ROOFING. 


If  the  roof  is  flat  and  sheds  one  way,  send  the 
exact  length  of  roof,  allowing  two  inches  to  bend 
over  the  eaves,  and  six  inches  to  turn  up  for  flashing 
in  front,  thus : 


d 45  ft.  8 in. 


Or,  if  the  roof  is  gable,  and  sheds  both  ways,  thus : 


edge.  The  strips  are  put  up  full  length  for  either  style 
desired,  or  if  the  roof  is  hipped,  the  required  amount 
of  roofing  is  put  up  in  bulk — the  strips  being  about 
fifty  feet  long,  which  can  be  cut  the  right  length  and 
shape  to  be  used.  The  cross-locks  are  locked  and 
grooved  together,  saving  the  labor  of  putting  them 
together  on  the  roof.  Turn  up  each  edge  of  iron  or 
steel  to  \ '/2  inches  with  our  Roofing  Tongs — by 
this  process  the  cross  seams  are  also  turned  up— place 
the  strip  in  position  ; fasten  down  with  cleat,  putting 
them  15  inches  apart ; after  the  roofing  iron  or  steel 
is  all  laid,  take  the  caps,  which  are  shipped  already 
formed,  and  place  them  over  the  standing  seam, 
squeeze  them  up  snugly  with  the  tongs,  and  rivet  it 
every  15  inches,  as  shown  in  cut.  To  fit  around 
chimneys  and  skylights,  cut  the  iron  to  fit  snugly,  the 
same  as  in  tin  roofing,  but  use  our  cement  instead  of 
solder  in  the  corners  or  laps  of  iron.  We  always  use 
tin  or  galvanized  iron  for  gutters.  Lock  the  iron  or 
steel,  double  seaming  it  on  the  valley  or  gutter;  fill 
the  lock  with  cement  or  thick  paint  before  pounding 
it  down  ; always  have  the  back  side  of  gutter  higher 
than  the  eave.  After  the  roof  is  all  laid,  give  it  a 
good  coat  of  our  Readv  Mixed  Metallic  Pair*:. 


REMARKS 


We  Claim  for  the  Garry  Cap  Roof  a Superiority 
over  all  others. 


is  made  of  the  best  refined  Box  Annealed 
Iron  or  Steel. 

flfeg“By  our  patent  we  avoid  nailing  or  screwing 
the  joints,  which  heretofore  was  a serious  objection  to 
iron  roofs,  for  experience  has  proved  that  nail  holes, 
though  ever  so  well  covered  up,  will  sooner  or  later 
leak,  and  nailing  or  screwing  must,  in  alf  cases,  pre- 
vent the  necessary  expansion  or  contraction. 

HSy-The  anchors,  or  cleats,  being  of  the  same  mate- 
rial as  the  roof,  by  our  patent  process  of  attaching  the 
same,  though  perfectly  secure,  do  not  interfere  with 
expansion  or  contraction. 

fifesyAll  the  cross-joints  are  locked  and  grooved, 
which  allows  expansion  and  contraction  in  an  equal 
ratio,  while  perfectly  water  tight. 

J(tSy"Our  upright  joints,  capped  and  riveted,  with 
the  roof  firmly  flashed  to  side  walls,  become  self-sus- 
taining, and  have  in  many  instances  preserved  the 
neighboring  building,  when  roof-boards,  rafters,  etc., 
were  burned  away. 

B£aj“\Ve  use  no  other  than  the  “Metallic”  and 
Pure  Linseed  Oil  to  protect  the  iron  from  the  atmos- 
phere, which  is  from  75  to  100  per  cent,  more  expen- 
sive, and  proportionately  more  protective  than  any 
other  article  in  the  country. 

B@“Our  “Cap”  Roofing  is  shipped  in  rolls,  which 
is  much  better  than  to  ship  in  sheets  with  edges 
formed,  as  is  the  case  with  all  other  kinds  of  Iron 
or  Steel  Roofing  but  the  Garry  Cap.  The  expense  of 
boxes  is  saved,  and  avoids  the  breaking  of  the  locks, 
and  flattening  the  edges  down,  and  otherwise  injuring 
the  Roofing,  which  saves  time  and  expense  in  laying  it.

As  to  durability,  we  can  show  where  our  Iron 
Roofing  has  been  on  for  twenty  years,  and  still  is 
good.  An  occasional  coat  of  our  JletalliC  Paint 
preserves  the  roof  at  a less  cost  than  it  takes  to  repair 
any  other  kind  of  roofing. 

J5@“The  Garry  Patent  Cap  Roofing  from  our  Stand 
ard  gauge  (painted  iron  or  steel  is  mostly  used,)  h 
adapted  to  all  classes  of  buildings  and  shapes  of  roofs. 

8@“A  square  of  our  Cap  and  Crimped  Edge  Roof- 
ing, as  shipped  from  our  factory,  will  cover  a square 
(ioo  square  feet)  on  the  building. 

Jg@“Sheet  Steel  is  becoming  largely  used  for  roofing 
purposes,  and  costs  but  a little  more  than  iron,  and  is 
superior.  We  give  it  a coat  of  our  Metallic  Paint 
before  shipping.  We  furnish  the  genuine  unless  other- 
wise ordered. 

• Iusurance. 

Buildings  roofed  with  iron  or  steel  are  insured  at 
lower  rates  than  those  covered  with  any  other  material. 

Lightning. 

Few  persons  realize  the  protection  afforded  during 
a violent  thunder  storm  by  being  in  a building  cov- 
ered with  iron.  Prof.  Mitchell  and  other  scientific 
men  say  that  it  is  impossible  for  a building  to  be 
struck  by  lightning  when  covered  with  iron.  You 
thereby  save  the  expense  of  lightning  rods. 

Water. 

Our  Metallic  Paint  contains  no  acids  or  alkalies, 
therefore  can  have  no  bad  effect  upon  the  water. 

Fire  and  Wind. 

J3@?“We  would  call  special  attention  of  the  public 
to  the  fact  that  there  is  no  roof  in  the  market  as  safe 
from  lire  and  wind.  The  cross-locks  or  seams  are 
grooved  together  and  the  seams  are  capped,  then  the 
whole  is  riveted  together,  so  that  in  case  of  extreme 
fire  or  heavy  wind,  when  the  iron  should  become 
“ red  hot,”  or  the  wind  get  under  the  iron,  the  seams 
and  locks  cannot  come  apart,  thereby  preventing  the 
fire  from  getting  into  the  building;  or,  if  inside,  from 
bursting  out  and  firing  all  adjoining.  There  are  other 
spurious  iron  roofs  in  the  market  that  imitate  the 
Garry  Cap  Roof,  where  the  cross  seam  is  put  together 
on  the  roof,  simply  malleted  together,  and  the  cap 
simply  fastened  on  by  an  indenture  or  hole  cut 
through,  or  the  end  of  the  cleat  bent  over  the  cap, 
all  of  which  are  no  security  against  lire  or  win(b

GARRY  IRON  AND  STEEL  ROOFING  CO.’S 


Adjustable  Cap  Roofing  1 

Is  made  from  our  Refined  Iron  or  Steel,  painted,  and 
Galvanized  Iron,  manufactured  especially  for  roofing 
purposes,  which  is  widely  known  in  the  market  as  the 
Garry  Iron  Roofing  Co.’s. 

J3@“Before  ordering  Adjustable  Cap  Roofing, 
please  compare  it  carefully  with  the  Garry  Cap,  so 
you  will  make  no  mistake.  Several  of  our  customers 
have  ordered  the  Adjustable  when  they  wanted  the 
Garry  Patent  Cap.  We  take  this  precaution  to  avoid 
mistakes  and  save  you  trouble. 

REFINED  ROOFING  IRON  OR  STEEL. 

Box  annealed  and  free  from  hole  and  scale. 

The  standard  sheet  of  this  kind  of  roofing  is  2 x 8 
feet,  and  takes  about  6^  sheets  to  lay  a square.  The  , 
sheets  are  all  formed  with  side  seam  turned  up,  ends  i 
locked,  ready  to  apply  on  roof,  when  shipped.  We 
furnish  with  this  roofing  the  Cleats,  Caps,  Pins  or  I 
Nails  for  the  Cap.  In  applying,  we  put  two  cleats  in 
end  of  sheet,  and  five  on  each  side;  this  prevents  it 
from  rattling  when  the  wind  blows  hard,  and  secures 
it  against  blowing  off. 

It  is  adapted  to  all  styles  and  shaped  roofs,  but 
should  have  one  inch  or  more  fall  to  the  foot. 

Our  simple  and  perfect  way  of  fastening  the  cap 
makes  it  the  easiest  and  quickest  applied  of  any  in 
the  market,  especially  on  steep  roofs.  The  cap  is  so  j 
firmly  fastened  as  to  make  perfectly  secure  from  being  i 
loosened  or  removed  by  fire  or  wind,  yet  at  the  same 
time  it  can  be  easily  removed  if  necessary.  Use  five  j 
pins  to  a cap  (18  inches  apart). 

It  can  be  applied  to  sheeting  or  lath  same  as  shingle  > 
or  other  iron  roofs.  Shall  be  pleased  to  furnish  you 
prices,

CLEVELAND,  G, 


NOTIC  E 


We  desire  to  call  our  agents’  and  patrons’  attention 
to  our  plan  of  putting  the  Cap  Roofing  on  buildings 
where  the  pitch  or  fall  of  roof  is  less  than  one  inch  to 
the  foot.  Lay  the  iron  or  steel,  and  before  putting  on 
the  caps  throw  apart  or  open  the  standing  seam,  and 
fill  or  pack  it — the  seam — with  Garry  Iron  Roofing 
Co.'s  Cement;  then  put  the  Cap  on,  press  or  mallet  it 
close  together  before  riveting — by  this  process  the  cap 
is  thoroughly  filled  with  cement — then  rivet  the  cap 
on;  put  the  rivets  every  8 or  io  inches  apart.  This 
makes  the  roof  perfectly  secure  against  leak  when 
snow,  ice  or  water  stands  upon  it.  This  will  add  to 
the  expense  of  the  roof  from  fifty  to  seventy-five 
cents  per  square. 

Whenever  there  is  an  inch  or  more  fall  to  the  foot, 
it  is  not  necessary  to  put  the  cement  in  the  seam,  but 
at  all  times  press  the  cap  close  before  riveting. 

We  manufacture  our  Roofing  and  Siding  from 
Refined,  Box  Annealed  Iron  or  Steel,  Painted  and 
Galvanized  Iron. 

flfe^One  ply  of  Rosin  or  Waterproof  Felt  should  be 
laid  under  the  iron  or  steel  where  gas  or  steam  are  used 
in  the  building,  or  where  there  is  heat  next  to  the 
roof  to  cause  dripping  or  sweating  from  condensation 
in  cold  weather. 

We  desire  to  call  Particular  Attention  to  the 
(Question  of  Tools. 

Our  Improved  Tongs  and  Lever  Punch,  which 
are  necessary  for  you  to  have  to  lay  the  Garry  Cap 
Roofing,  we  will  send  with  the  roof  and  charge  you 
ten  dollars  for  them.  If  you  do  not  want  them  after 
laying  the  roof,  return  them  to  us  free  of  charges, 
and  we  will  refund  or  credit  you  with  the  price  charged 
you.  In  addition,  you  will  need  tinners’  shears,  mallet, 
rivet  set,  etc.;  also  paint  brush.  If  you  cannot  get 
them  in  your  place,  we  will  send  them  to  you  at 
lowest  cash  prices. 

Parties  returning  tools  to  us  will  please  be 
particular  to  notify  us  by  postal  card.  Also  mark 
on  shipping  card  whom  and  where  from.  By  so  doing, 
you  will  enable  us  to  determine  who  shipped  them. 
It  is  cheaper  to  return  by  freight  than  by  express.

inches  wide,  after  lapping  one  corrugate. 

We  make  no  allowance  for  laps  or  corrugated  iron,  but 
measure  the  full  size  of  sheet  after  it  is  corrugated. 

Tho  standard  sheets  are  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9 and  10  feet  long  for 
the  3 inch  corrugation ; 4,  5, 6,  7 and  8 feet  long  for  1J4  and  2 XA

When  sheets  are  required  5 Vi,  6 'A,  7%,  8)4  and  9)4  feet  long, 
we  ship  sheets  6,  7,  8,  9 and  10  feet  long  respectively,  and 
charge  for  full  length,  except  it  be  a large  order  and  sufficient 
time  (two  or  three  weeks)  is  allowed  us  to  get  the  sheets  rolled 
to  special  length  wanted.  When  lengths  of  sheets  arc  not 
specified  in  order,  we  always  ship  8 foot  lengths. 

We  use  the  Box  Annealed,  Painted  and  Galvanized  Iron 
or  Steel  for  all  our  work.  We  furnish  Barb  Nails  and  Lead 
Washers  at  the  lowest  market  prices. 

DIRECTIONS. 

Commence  and  lay  the  sheets  from  the  eaves  to  comb,  lap- 
ping the  ends  from  2 to  4 inches  if  the  roof  is  one-fourth  pitch 
or  more,  but  if  less,  lap  them  from  4 to  6 inches.  The  next 
course,  lap  the  side  of  sheet  one  corrugate  and  nail  through  the 
lap  in  the  side  of  corrugate  about  one  foot  apart,  if  the  roof  is 
laid  upon  sheeting,  but  if  laid  upon  joist  or  lath,  nail  in  them. 
Nail  the  end  lap  in  every  other  corrugate  through  the  top  of 
corrugate.  When  laying  the  sheets,  put  a few  nails  close  to 
the  outside  edge  of  sheets,  to  hold  them  in  position.  Corru- 
gated Iron  should  not  be  laid  upon  a roof  with  less  than  3 
inches  to  the  foot  fall.  We  furnish  Leap.  Washers  at  tho 
lowest  market  prices,  if  desired.

PATENTED  1887. 


Fluted  or  Corrugated  Ridge  Capping. 


Fig.  33— No.  5. 


Fig.  34-No.  6. 


This  Ridge  Capping  for  Corrugated  Roofing  is  the 
most  perfect  article  in  the  market,  and  absolute  pro- 
tection against  storms  blowing  under.  The  flutes  or 
corrugations  correspond  exactly  with  our  3 inch  medi- 
um and  small  Corrugated  Roofing.  You  should  not 
lay  Corrugated  Roofing  on  a ridge  roof  without 
using  it.  Order  it  when  you  order  the  roofing. 

This  Capping  will  fit  down  closely  in  the  flutes  of 
the  Corrugated  Roofing,  making  them  absolute  against 
storms  driving  under.  It  is  the  most  practical  Ridge 
Capping  in  the  market  for  Corrugated  Roofing.  We 
make  it  to  fit  the  corrugates  in  our  medium,  3 inch, 
and  small,  inch,  Corrugated  Roofing.

Corrugated  Iron  or  Steel  Siding 

FOR  ELEVATORS. 


Fig.  18. 


This  siding  is  designed  more  particularly  for  Grain 
Elevators.  The  corrugations  are  made  crosswise  of 
the  sheet,  so  when  applied  they  will  run  up  and  down 
the  building,  giving  more  elasticity  to  the  iron,  and 
preventing  its  buckling,  as  other  iron  siding  does, 
when  the  building  settles. 

In  laying,  we  lap  the  sheet  on  the  one  below  about 
one  inch — as  shown  in  cut — then  nail  through  the 
upper  sheet  about  one  inch  above  the  lap,  thus  allow- 
ing for  movement  of  the  iron,  as  the  building  settles. 
In  ordering  Corrugated  Siding,  say  whether  to  corru- 
gate cross  or  length  of  sheet.  Send  for  prices. 

We  furnish  Eave  and  Gable  Cornice,  Corner  Strips, 
Window  Casing  Coverings  and  Cap  Piece  over  Door 
and  Window,  at  the  lowest  market  price. 

ROSIN  AND  WATER-PROOF  FELTING. 

We  are  prepared  to  furnish  the  trade  or  customers 
with  Rosin  and  Water-proof  Felting  at  the  very  low- 
est market  prices. 

There  is  nothing  in  the  market  equal  to  our  Rosin 
and  Water-proof  Felting  for  laying  under  Iron,  Tin 
or  Slate  Roofing  and  Lining  for  buildings,  or  where 
felting  is  used.  Send  for  sample  and  prices. 

#®"One-ply  of  Rosin  Felt  should  be  laid  under  tht 
Iron  where  gas  or  steam  is  used  in  the  building,  or 
where  there  is  heat  next  to  the  roof  to  cause  dripping 
or  •westing  from  condensation  in  cold  weather.

BEADED  IRON  OR  STEEL 

SIDING  AND  CEILING. 

Fig.  45. 


Usual  length  of  sheets,  four  to  eight  feet;  covering  width, 
two  feet.  This  makes  nice  Ceiling  and  Siding. 

The  beads  are  small  Corrugates  about  three-eighths  inch  deep, 
and  three  inches  from  center  to  center.  It  imitates  three  inch 
boards.  Can  be  applied  either  perpendicularly  or  horizontally, 
as  preferred,  to  boards,  studding  or  joist  placed  the  proper  dis- 
tance apart.  Purchasers  can  paint  it  any  color. 

CRIMPED  ROOFING  AND  SIDING.

Three  Crimped  Siding.

CRIMPED  ROOFING 


APPLIED  DIRECT  TO  RAFTERS. 


Fig.  43. 


This  roofing  is  designed  for  a cheap  class  of  build- 
ings, such  as  Rolling  Mills,  Furnaces,  Cotton  Sheds, 
Barns,  Awnings,  etc.  It  can  be  laid  upon  sheeting 
boards,  cross  strips  or  rafters,  without  sheeting  boards. 
The  advantage  of  our  Crimped  Roofing  over  others 
of  similar  kinds  is,  that  we  form  a lock  on  the  end  of 
the  sheet  before  it  is  shipped,  which  makes  it  much 
better  than  lapping  the  ends,  or  forming  the  locks  on 
the  roof,  which  has  to  be  done  to  that  furnished  by 
all  other  manufacturers.  Also,  it  can  be  laid  with- 
out the  use  of  the  three-sided  wood  strip  (V  strip)  or 
without  forming  the  rafter  to  fit  the  crimp — thus 
saving  the  expense  of  the  wood  strip.  If  parties 
prefer  to  use  the  V strip,  we  will  furnish  them  a.t  the 
lowest  market  price,  or  will  send  sample  piece  with 
the  roofing,  and  parties  can  get  them  out  where  the 
roofing  is  used ; but  we  always  lay  this  roofing  with- 
out a strip.  In  laying  the  roof,  always  nail  through 
on  the  top  of  the  crimp,  and  not  the  sides,  using  the 
inch  Wire  Barb  Nail.  Set  it  down  close,  but  not 
so  as  to  flatten  or  dent  the  crimp.  We  can  furnish 
the  nail  at  market  rates.  When  laid  upon  rafters 
without  sheeting  boards,  the  rafters  must  be  laid  two 
feet  apart,  from  center  to  center,  (as  the  sheets  lay 
two  feet  wide).  It  can  be  laid  upon  a pitch  of  three 
inches  to  the  foot.

Garry  Iron  Roofing  Co.’s  Metallic  Tiles  or  Shingles. 


Our  Metallic  Tile  or  Shingle  is  made  from  the  Garry  Refined 
Roofing  Iron  or  Steel,  painted  with  our  44  Metallic  Paint/'  also 
from  Galvanized  Iron  and  Tin.  The  sheets  are  14x14,  and  will 
lay  12x12  inches,  and  stamped  into  such  forms  as  to  make  them 
impervious  to  rain,  wind  and  snow,  besides  being  very  archi- 
tectural in  appearance.  They  are  fastened  to  the  roofing 
boards  in  such  a way  that  they  are  held  firmly  and  no  exposure 
of  nails.  They  are  formed  in  a press,  uniform  in  size  and 
shape,  and  can  be  easily  applied  by  any  one.  Each  plate  fits 
in  its  place  perfectly,  so  that  the  nail  hole,  the  tongue  on  the 
lower  end  of  each  plate,  and  slot  in  each  left  hand  side  at  the 
apex  (see  cut)  all  come  into  their  proper  place,  so  there  can  be 
no  mistake  in  applying.  One  hundred  will  lay  a square.  This 
roofing  is  used  for  Mansard,  Gothic,  Queen  Anne,  and  all 
buildings  having  a quarter  04)  pitch.  It  is  not  calculated  for 
flat  roofs.  It  is  oeautiful,  durable,  light  and  cheap.  It  is  well 
adapted  for  fancy  fiding.

DIRECTIONS  FOR  LAYING  TILE. 

Line  the  space  to  cover  in  squares  of  8J  inches, 
except  the  first  line  from  the  edge  of  eave  and  gable, 
which  should  be  7J  inches.  This  allows  one  inch  for 
bending  down  at  the  eave  and  gable.  For  the  first 
course  at  eave,  cut  the  Tile  crosswise  through  the 
center  of  sheet,  and  lay  the  upper  half  at  eave. 
Commence  at  the  left-hand  corner  and  let  them  pro- 
ject over  edge  one  inch,  to  bend  down  and  nail.  The 
lower  half  will  finish  the  roof  at  comb. 

For  the  gable,  cut  the  Tile  through  the  center 
lengthwise,  and  lay  the  right  hand  piece  on  gable, 
allowing  one  inch  to  bend  down  and  nail.  The  left- 
hand  half  will  finish  at  the  opposite  gable.  Keep 
the  points  of  the  Tile  upon  the  lines  so  that  each  Tile 
will  come  in  its  proper  place.  In  laying  the  Tile, 
place  the  Tongue  at  lower  end  of  Tile  into  the  slot 
which  is  cut  in  the  left-hand  corner  of  Tile,  then 
nail  where  the  holes  are  made. 

Where  there  is  a gutter  or  valley  on  the  roof,  line 
the  gutter  or  valley  with  tin,  the  same  as  for  slate  or 
shingles.  Let  the  tin  extend  well  up  the  roof.  For 
first  or  lower  course,  strike  a line  parallel  with  comb 
of  roof,  a little  above  the  highest  point  of  gutter, 
then  a second  line  8£  inches  above,  and  parallel  with 
the  first  line  ; then  line  away  as  above  described. 

Cap  the  ridges  and  hips  with  either  kind  of  our 
Ridge  Capping  (see  page  27).  We  recommend  the 
use  of  our  Water-proof  or  Rosin  Felting  under  the  | 
Tile,  which  we  furnish  at  the  lowest  market  prices. 
We  furnish  nails  adapted  to  the  work  at  market  prices. 
After  the  roof  is  completed,  paint  the  whole  over  with 
our  Ready  Mixed  Metallic  Roofiug  Paint,  which 

we  furnish  at  the  VERY  LOWEST  market  prices.  It  takes  1 
about  one  quart  to  coat  a square.  We  recommend  the  | 
purple  color.  Send  for  samples,  circulars  and  prices.

GARRY  IRON  ROOFING  CO.’S 

FIRE  PROOF  DOORS  Sl  SHUTTERS. 


i 


In  bringing  our  Fire-Proof  Shutter  before  the 
public,  it  is  unnecessary  to  make  any  remark  in  re- 
gard to  the  vast  importance  of  more  thorough  pro- 
tection against  fire. 

The  principal  features  of  the  GARRY  IRON 
ROOFING  CO.’S  SHUTTER  are  : 

It  is  made  of  wood,  covered  with  Fire-Proof 
Cement,  and  encased  in  Sheet-Iron.  The  wood 
gives  stiffness  and  prevents  warping  in  case  of 
fire,  and  the  cement  the  radiation  of  heat.  It  can 
not  fire  the  window  casings,  as  those  made  entirely 
of  iron.  Neither  will  it  warp  by  heat  or  admit  of 
flames.  We  claim  from  experience  that  it  is  the  only 
really  Fire-Proof  Shutter  made.  Also,  we  make  a 
cheap  shutter  with  one  thickness  of  board  and  cov- 
ered with  Iron  or  Tin. 

Send  exact  size  of  opening,  inside  of  brick  jamb, 
also  exact  location  of  the  eyes. 

We  also  manufacture  the  BOILER  PLATE 
SHUTTER,  all  Iron.

ROOFERS  AND  BUILDERS 

Have  long  felt  the  need  of  some  material  to  take  the 
place  of  solder  for  repairing  old  roofs.  The  success- 
ful use  of  our  Cement  for  fifteen  years  gives  us  utmost  i 
confidence  in  introducing  it  as  the  only  Cement  in  the  ^ 
market  that  can  be  used  with  success  in  laying  or  re- 
pairing Iron  or  Tin  Roofs  or  Gutters.  By  thinning  it 
down  with  Boiled  Linseed  Oil,  it  makes  the  best 
paint  or  coating  for  iron  or  tin  now  in  use.  Our 
Cement  is  clear  from  acids,  alkalies  or  tar  substances, 
thus  leaving  the  water  perfectly  pure.  Its  composi- 
tions are  such  that  it  remains  in  an  elastic  condition 
for  years,  at  the  same  time  hardening  on  the  surface 
sufficient  to  walk  over  it  without  injury.  Owing  to 
its  elasticity,  it  accommodates  itself  to  the  expansion 
and  contraction  of  metal,  and  does  not  crack  or  peel  ; 
off.  Old  tin  roofs  and  gutters  that  were  repainted  j 
some  ten  years  ago,  and  seemed  comparatively  worth- 
less at  the  time,  are  good  to-day.  It  is  put  up  in  iron  j 
cans,  holding  fifteen,  twenty-five,  and  fifty  pounds,  j 
Directions  are  sent  with  each  can. 

DIRECTIONS. 

For  repairing  old  metal  roofs  or  gutters,  clean  off  all  the  ! 
dirt  and  loose  paint  ; have  the  roof  or  surface  perfectly  dry, 
then  fill  all  holes  and  broken  places  with  cement.  You  should  . 
then  give  the  whole  surface  one  good  coat  of  our  Mixed  Metal- 
lic Paint,  if  you  have  it;  if  not,  you  can  add  sufficient  boiled 
linseed  oil  to  some  of  the  cement  to  reduce  it  to  the  consistency 
of  good  paint.  Should  you  wish  it  to  dry  quick,  add  a little 
Japan  Dryer.  Send  for  prices.

DR,Y. 

Mixed  Ready  (or  Use.  Ground  In  Oil,  (Paste  Form.) 

Fig.  66. 


We  manufacture  our  own  Metallic  Paints,  having 
large  works  for  this  purpose,  from  the  purest,  toughest 
and  hardest  Lake  Superior  Iron  Ore,  of  four  colors — 
Rossie  Red,  Purple,  Brown  and  Yellow.  Owdng  to  its 
heavy  body,  adhesiveness  and  elasticity,  it  is  far  the 
best  paint  in  the  market  for  iron,  tin  and  wood  paint- 
ing. Take  it  in  connection  with  the  Garry  Iron  Roofing 
Co.’s  Cement,  old  tin  roofs  and  gutters  can  be  thorough- 
ly repaired  without  using  any  solder,  which  is  much 
better  and  cheaper.  The  dry  paint  should  be  mixed 
with  boiled  linseed  oil  to  the  same  consistency  as  any 
other  dry  paints.  If  you  wish  to  apply  it  on  iron,  tin 
or  w'ood,  a little  dryer  may  be  used  if  desired  to  have 
it  set  quick,  but  for  painting  or  repairing  old  iron  or 
tin  roofs,  or  for  coating  shingles,  it  should  be  mixed 
quite  thick  and  spread  on  quite  heavy.  One  coat  is 
usually  sufficient  for  iron  or  tin. 

Our  Ready  Mixed  Paints  are  first-class  and  made  of 
pure  material.  Give  them  a trial. 

We  also  grind  our  dry  paints  in  oil,  and  put  up  in 
packages  to  suit  our  customers.  Special  prices  made 
to  dealers  and  large  consumers. 

Our  Paints  are  extensively  used  for  painting  railroad 
cars,  buildings  and  bridges  of  all  descriptions. 

We  call  the  special  attention  of  railroad  men,  car 
builders  and  contractors  to  our  paints. 

Send  for  samplas  and  prices.
